Today is the final day of SEARAC’s Week of Giving and we’re asking our community to consider making a gift to fuel our movement. This year, SEARAC defended Southeast Asian Americans’ right to be seen through our groundbreaking new documentary series, Southeast Asian American Journeys. In partnership with the Center for Asian American Media and acclaimed filmmaker Quyên Nguyen-Le, we brought to life the diverse stories of our communities across the country and honored stories that too often go unheard.
And we’re just getting started! Help us uplift the next generation of Southeast Asian American storytellers and advocates and donate today.

Your gift to SEARAC fuels our work to build power with Southeast Asian Americans and other refugee and immigrant communities across the country. This year, alongside our partners, we introduced a California state resolution commemorating 50 years of Southeast Asian refugee resettlement in the United States. This was a powerful reminder that Southeast Asian Americans belong in the halls of power, from Sacramento to Washington, DC.
As we honor the past 50 years of the Southeast Asian American legacy, we’re also fighting to secure the next 50 years. Join our movement today and help us reach our $50,000 goal by the end of 2025.

We’re halfway through our Week of Giving, and we’re calling on our community and supporters to help us reach our $50,000 goal in honor of the 50th anniversary of Southeast Asian American refugee resettlement.
For decades, our communities have fought for our stories to be seen through disaggregated data, ethnic studies, language access, and more. SEARAC continues to push for accurate representation in education data and the US Census so our communities are no longer erased, overlooked, or undercounted. This is how we secure the future our community deserves.
Your support powers SEARAC’s fight to ensure Southeast Asian American students have equal access to high-quality education and the opportunities to thrive.
